The display device 15 and the input device 16 may be configured as a touch panel display that receives an input by performing a contact operation on a display surface on which an image is displayed.
The processor 11 executes various software such as an OS (Operating System) and an application program to realize various functions described later.
The main memory 12 is a storage area for storing various types of software and data used when the software is executed.
The HDD13 is a storage area that stores various software, input data to the various software, output data from the various software, and the like. In particular, the HDD13 of the present embodiment stores a program for realizing document processing software, which will be described later, as an application program.
[ document processing software ]
Next, a screen displayed on the liquid crystal display by the document processing software will be described.
The document processing software according to the present embodiment electronically manages, for example, a paper document read by a scanner. Further, the document processing software of the present embodiment manages document data created by different application programs by unifying the document data into one document. Further, the document processing software may perform editing operations such as marking, adding comments, attaching labels, or stamping in the electronic document.
The information processing apparatus 1 of the present embodiment displays a preset screen on a liquid crystal display, which is an example of the display device 15, based on document processing software.
The screen display in the information processing apparatus 1 is realized by the processor 11, the main memory 12, and the HDD 13. The information processing apparatus 1 receives a user operation on a screen displayed by the document processing software. The information processing apparatus 1 accepts an operation on a displayed screen by a keyboard or a mouse, which is an example of the input device 16.
The operation performed by the user includes clicking (superimposing a pointer on the object image and releasing after pressing a button of the mouse). The operation performed by the user includes double-clicking (superimposing a pointer on the target image and continuously performing an operation released after pressing a button of the mouse). The operation performed by the user includes dragging (moving the mouse while pressing a button of the mouse in a state where the pointer is superimposed on the target image, and releasing the button after the movement). Also, the operation performed by the user includes a key operation (released after pressing a key of the keyboard). In the description of the present embodiment, the number of times of operation by the user is counted as: the operation frequency is one time when each operation such as one click, double click, drag, key operation and the like is performed. For example, in the case where one image in the screen is clicked and then the other image is clicked, the number of operations is two.
Fig. 2 shows an example of a desktop screen 100 on which thumbnails are displayed.
Fig. 3 shows an example of a desktop screen 100 for displaying text.
As shown in fig. 2, the document processing software of the present embodiment displays a desktop screen 100 of a management file 10 and a folder in which the file 10 is stored in a liquid crystal display device. The desktop screen 100 of the present embodiment centrally manages not only the files 10 created by the present software but also files 10 created by other applications and the like. The file 10 in the present embodiment refers to, for example, a document, an image, a database, or other information set recorded in the HDD 13.
[ desktop Picture 100]
As shown in fig. 2, the desktop screen 100 includes a menu bar 110 for displaying a menu, a 1 st toolbar 120 for displaying icons for executing functions, and a 2 nd toolbar 130 for displaying icons for executing functions at a position different from the 1 st toolbar 120. The desktop screen 100 includes, for example, a folder section 140 showing a configuration of a folder in which a plurality of files stored in the HDD13 are collected together, and a work space section 150 showing contents of a folder selected by the folder section 140.
The menu bar 110 displays a plurality of menu items side by side that can be executed in the desktop 100. When a selection operation by the user is accepted, each menu item executes the accepted menu or displays an item that further subdivides the menu item.
The 1 st toolbar 120 is disposed on the top side of the desktop screen 100. Also, the 1 st toolbar 120 displays a plurality of icons for executing functions. For example, the 1 st toolbar 120 includes a file icon 121 for opening the file 10, a print icon 122 for executing printing of the file 10, and a preview icon 123 for opening a preview screen 300 described later. Also, the 1 st toolbar 120 has a configuration icon 124 for automatically configuring the file 10 and a search icon 125 for searching the file 10.
Preview icon 123 is an image for accepting an operation of displaying preview screen image 300, which will be described later, on desktop screen image 100. When receiving a user click on preview icon 123 while preview screen image 300 is not displayed, information processing apparatus 1 displays preview screen image 300. On the other hand, when the user accepts a single click of preview icon 123 while preview screen image 300 is displayed, information processing apparatus 1 hides preview screen image 300.
The arrangement icon 124 is an image that receives the following operations: the files 10 displayed in the work space section 150 are arranged in the order of a predetermined rule and are arranged at predetermined positions. The specification rule may be exemplified by a rule based on objective information such as the creation order of the files 10, the name order of the files 10, and the file size order of the files 10. The arrangement at the predetermined position may be, for example, an arrangement in which the end portions of the documents 10 are aligned in the work space portion 150 or an arrangement at equal intervals. When the user receives a single click on the placement icon 124 in a state where the plurality of files 10 are placed at arbitrary positions in arbitrary order in the work space section 150, the information processing apparatus 1 places the plurality of files 10 at predetermined positions in the order of the designated rule. When receiving an operation on the placement icon 124, the information processing apparatus 1 resets the content of the placement information described later.
The 1 st toolbar 120 is provided with a setting button 126 for setting an icon displayed in the 1 st toolbar 120. When the setting button 126 is clicked, the information processing apparatus 1 displays a setting column (not shown) having items for specifying an icon displayed in the 1 st toolbar 120 and an icon to be hidden. When the user selects an item displayed in the setting bar, the information processing apparatus 1 adds an icon corresponding to the item to the 1 st toolbar 120. When the user releases the selection of the item displayed in the setting field, the information processing apparatus 1 hides the icon corresponding to the item in the 1 st toolbar 120.
Also, the 1 st toolbar 120 has a section 127 that groups a plurality of icons together. Section 127 includes at least more than one icon. In the example shown in fig. 2, the first section 127 includes a file icon 121, a print icon 122, and a preview icon 123. Also, the second section 127 includes a configuration icon 124 and a search icon 125. Each segment 127 is provided with a setting button 126. When the setting button 126 accepts a hiding operation from the user in units of the section 127, the information processing device 1 hides the icons included in the section 127 in a unified manner.
The 2 nd toolbar 130 displays a plurality of icons for executing functions that can be performed on the file 10 displayed in the workspace portion 150. For example, the 2 nd toolbar 130 has a binder icon 131 for performing a function of gathering a plurality of pages or a plurality of documents 10 together. The 2 nd toolbar 130 has a conversion icon 132 for executing a function of converting a file of a file format different from the present software into a file format of the present software, and an OCR (Optical Character Recognition) icon 133 for performing Optical Character Recognition on the file 10.
The folder unit 140 is a tree display for visually displaying the hierarchical relationship between folders in a list, and a display area in which the files 10 in the folders or the files 10 can be stored in the folders.
The work space section 150 is a display area for work displayed in correspondence with the folder selected by the folder section 140. The work space section 150 displays either thumbnail images of the files 10 in the selected folder, mainly in thumbnail images, or text images, mainly in a list of texts using file names. In addition, in the workspace section 150, a selection of which of the thumbnail display and the text display is displayed is received from the user in the menu bar 110, for example.
(thumbnail display)
As shown in fig. 2, the thumbnail is an image reduced to display a list of a plurality of images. Thumbnails are displayed on the screen as display elements for visually recognizing document data.
In the thumbnail display work space section 150, in an initial state, a plurality of thumbnails are displayed at predetermined positions.
In the thumbnail display, the user can drag and move the thumbnail of the file 10 to place the file 10 at an arbitrary position. The user can arrange the electronic file 10 at an arbitrary position in the workspace part 150 as if the physical file were arranged on an actual desktop. For example, in the workspace section 150, the user arranges a plurality of files 10 having high relevance such as items or subjects in close proximity to each other, or arranges files having high subjective importance or priority of the user in a more usable position. When the user arranges the files 10 at arbitrary positions, the information processing apparatus 1 creates arrangement information for managing the coordinate information of each file 10 in the work space section 150. Also, the configuration information is stored in the HDD 13.
In addition, the thumbnail display size can be changed in the work space section 150. For example, when the user accepts an operation of scrolling the wheel of the mouse while pressing the < Ctrl > key, the information processing apparatus 1 changes the display size of the thumbnail.
(text display)
As shown in fig. 3, in the work space section 150 for text display, a plurality of files 10 each displayed as a text are arranged in a list in the order of file names, the order of creation dates and times of the files 10, and the like, for example. In the work space section 150 for text display, the user cannot place the file 10 at any position.
[ browser frame ]
Fig. 4 shows an example of a browser screen 200 according to the present embodiment.
The browser screen 200 is a screen for opening a specific file 10 and displaying the content of the file 10. By double-clicking the file 10 displayed in the work space portion 150 on the desktop screen 100, the browser screen 200 expands the contents of the file 10 on the liquid crystal display. In addition, in the work space section 150, the browser screen 200 can be displayed regardless of which display mode of the file 10, out of the file 10 displayed with the thumbnail in the thumbnail display and the file 10 displayed with the text in the text display, is double-clicked.
In the liquid crystal display, the browser screen 200 is displayed in a different window from the desktop screen 100. In addition, the position where the browser screen 200 is displayed on the liquid crystal display is arbitrarily designated by the user. The browser screen 200 is displayed to be overlapped on the desktop screen 100 or displayed side by side with the desktop screen 100 without being overlapped.
As shown in fig. 4, the browser screen 200 has a menu bar 210 displaying a menu and a 1 st toolbar 220 displaying icons for executing functions. The browser screen 200 includes a 2 nd toolbar 230 for displaying icons for executing functions at a position different from the 1 st toolbar 220, and a file display unit 240 that is an area for displaying the contents of the file 10.
The basic configuration of the menu bar 210, the 1 st tool bar 220, and the 2 nd tool bar 230 is the same as that of the menu bar 110, the 1 st tool bar 120, and the 2 nd tool bar 130 of the desktop screen 100.
The file display section 240 displays the file 10 in a size larger than the thumbnail, for example. The document display unit 240 receives an editing operation for editing the document 10, a browsing operation for turning a page of the document 10 including a plurality of pages, and the like from the user. When the label 10A is provided in the file 10, the file display unit 240 displays the label 10A.
The browser screen 200 is a screen created for each file 10. The information processing apparatus 1 expands one browser screen 200 displaying the content of one file 10 by double-clicking one file 10 in the work space section 150. Then, the information processing apparatus 1 expands another browser screen 200 that displays the content of another file 10 different from the one browser screen 200 by double-clicking another file 10.
Then, the information processing apparatus 1 closes each browser screen 200 by clicking a close button 250 provided on the browser screen 200.
[ Preview picture ]
Fig. 5 shows an example of a preview screen 300 of a file display state.
Fig. 6 shows an example of a preview screen 300 in a file hiding state.
As shown in fig. 5, preview screen 300 is displayed as a part of desktop screen 100 within desktop screen 100.
The preview screen 300 has a toolbar 310. The toolbar 310 has an adjustment icon 311 for adjusting the magnification of the representation of the file 10 and a flip icon 312 for turning the page of the file 10.
The preview screen 300 is a screen for displaying the contents of any one of the files 10 displayed in the workspace part 150 when receiving a single click on the file 10. In preview screen 300, only one document 10 is displayed. For example, the preview screen 300 displays one file 10 in correspondence with a single click made on one file 10 in the workspace portion 150. When receiving a single click on another file 10 in the workspace part 150 while one file 10 is displayed, the preview screen 300 displays another file 10 instead of the one file 10.
The display of the file 10 on the preview screen 300 can be performed by clicking either the file 10 displayed on the workspace portion 150 in the thumbnail display or the file 10 displayed on the workspace portion 150 in the text display.
When the tab 10A is provided in the file 10, the preview screen 300 displays the tab 10A.
Also, for example, the preview screen 300 is similar to the browser screen 200 from the viewpoint of displaying the content of the document 10 and having a toolbar.
As shown in fig. 6, the preview screen 300 does not display any file 10 in a state where no file 10 is selected in the workspace portion 150. For example, when a blank position, which is a position different from the display positions of a plurality of files 10 in the workspace portion 150, is clicked in a state where one file 10 is displayed on the preview screen 300, the information processing apparatus 1 is set to a blank state where the file 10 is not displayed on the preview screen 300.
[ enlarged display Picture ]
Fig. 7 shows an example of an enlarged display screen 400 according to the present embodiment.
As shown in fig. 7, the enlarged display screen 400 is a screen on which the contents of the file 10 are displayed in a state in which the desktop screen 100 is displayed. The enlarged display screen 400 is displayed by performing a key operation on both the < Ctrl > key and the < Shift > key of the keyboard in a state where the pointer of the mouse is superimposed on the file 10 displayed in the work space portion 150 (see fig. 2) of the desktop screen 100. The enlarged display screen 400 is displayed when the above-described operation is performed on the file 10 displayed in the work space portion 150 of the thumbnail display. That is, when the above-described operation is performed on the file 10 displayed in the work space section 150 for text display, the enlarged display screen 400 is not displayed.
Then, if both the < Ctrl > key and the < Shift > key are pressed, the enlarged display screen 400 continues to be displayed.
The enlarged display screen 400 is an image whose outer frame is the edge of the display target file 10. In the enlarged display screen 400, the tab 10A provided on the document 10 is not displayed, but only a part of the tab 10A on the inner side of the edge of the document 10 is displayed.
Then, the enlarged display screen 400 is displayed such that the center of the file 10 on the enlarged display screen 400 is aligned with the center of the thumbnail of the file 10 in the work space portion 150. The magnified display screen image 400 is superimposed on the workspace portion 150 of the desktop screen image 100 and displayed on the upper layer on the front side of the desktop screen image 100. Therefore, when the display target file 10 is displayed on the enlarged display screen 400, the user feels that the thumbnail of the file 10 is enlarged.
In the enlarged display screen 400, when the document 10 is composed of a plurality of pages, the page is turned forward or backward by pressing the right or left button of the mouse.
The enlarged display screen 400 is similar to the browser screen 200 from the viewpoint of showing the contents of the file 10. However, the enlarged display screen 400 does not include the menu bar 210 and the 1 st toolbar 220, for example, as in the browser screen 200. The enlarged display screen 400 displays an image corresponding to the content of the file display unit 240 of the browser screen 200. In this manner, the enlarged display screen 400 displays a part of the browser screen 200.
When the user releases the < Ctrl > key and the < Shift > key of the keyboard in the state where the enlarged display screen 400 is displayed, the enlarged display screen 400 is hidden. In addition, the enlarged display screen 400 is also hidden in a case where the pointer of the mouse is removed from the thumbnail of the object file 10.
Then, when another key operation of pressing both the < Ctrl > key and the < Shift > key of the keyboard in a state where the pointer of the mouse is superimposed on another file 10 displayed in the work space portion 150 (see fig. 2) of the desktop screen 100 is accepted again, the information processing apparatus 1 displays the enlarged display screen 400 corresponding to the other file 10.
[ function proposal ]
Next, a description will be given of a suggestion of a function related to a screen operation by a user (hereinafter, referred to as a function suggestion) by the document processing software configured as described above.
In the information processing apparatus 1, for example, when an operation of changing the screen or the like from the 1 st state to the 2 nd state and returning from the 2 nd state to the 1 st state is detected, a function of making a transition from the 1 st state to the 3 rd state corresponding to the 2 nd state and making a transition from the 3 rd state to the 1 st state is presented to the user. At this time, the number of operations for executing the function suggested to the user is less than the number of operations when changing from the 1 st state to the 2 nd state and transitioning from the 2 nd state to the 1 st state.
Hereinafter, the information processing apparatus 1 according to embodiment 1 will be specifically described.
Fig. 8 is a diagram illustrating an operation of function suggestion according to the present embodiment.
As shown in fig. 8, the information processing apparatus 1 determines whether or not a repetitive operation is detected (S101). Here, the repetitive operation may be, for example, a reciprocating motion in which the screen transitions from the 1 st state to the 2 nd state and from the 2 nd state to the 1 st state. The repetitive operation shows, for example, a repetitive operation of the screen or the like to transit from the 1 st state to the 2 nd state, then from the 2 nd state to the 1 st state, and then from the 1 st state to the 2 nd state.
The execution of the function advice based on the repetitive operation may be determined according to the case where the reciprocating motion or the repetitive motion is performed within a predetermined time.
Then, if the repeat operation is not detected (no in S101), the information processing apparatus 1 ends the processing. On the other hand, in the case where the repetitive operation is detected, the information processing apparatus 1 determines whether or not an exceptional operation is detected (S102).
When the exceptional operation is detected (yes in S102), the information processing apparatus 1 ends the processing. On the other hand, if no exceptional operation is detected (no in S102), the information processing apparatus 1 determines the content of the function to be suggested (S103). The contents of the functions to be suggested are decided according to the contents of the repeated operations. In addition, the function proposed in the present embodiment is a function in which the number of operations is less than the number of operations of the repetitive operation.
Then, the information processing apparatus 1 presents the function decided to be suggested to the user (S104). Specifically, the information processing device 1 displays the content for explaining the determined function on the liquid crystal display used by the user. The timing of the presentation function may be, for example, a period when the user repeatedly operates the software, when the user finishes using the software, when the user starts the software next time the user finishes using the software, or the like.
Next, as an example of the case of suggesting a function to the user, a function of the enlarged display screen 400 is specifically described using an example of suggestion display.
As shown in fig. 2, in a state where the desktop screen 100 is displayed (for example, an example of the 1 st state), the information processing apparatus 1 receives a double click (for example, an example of the 1 st operation) on the file 10 of the work space portion 150 from the user. As shown in fig. 4, the information processing apparatus 1 transitions from the desktop screen 100 to a state in which the browser screen 200 is displayed (for example, an example of the 2 nd state). Then, the information processing apparatus 1 accepts a single click of the close button 250 for a predetermined time such as 10 seconds (for example, an example of the 2 nd operation). In this way, the information processing apparatus 1 hides the browser screen 200 and transitions from the browser screen 200 to the desktop screen 100 (see fig. 2).
Then, when the user clicks the close button 250 to close the browser screen 200 after performing the operation of double-clicking the file 10 of the work space part 150, the information processing apparatus 1 performs function suggestion. As described above, the functions to be suggested are as follows: in a state where the pointer of the mouse is superimposed on the file 10, both the < Ctrl > key and the < Shift > key are operated to transition to the enlarged display screen 400 (for example, an example of the 3 rd state). The magnified display screen 400 displays the contents of the file 10 in the same manner as the browser screen 200. Therefore, the suggestion to enlarge the display screen 400 is a useful function for the user who is displaying the browser screen 200.
Here, when transitioning from the desktop screen 100 to the browser screen 200 and from the browser screen 200 to the desktop screen 100, the user performs the following operations. (1) The user superimposes a pointer on the file 10 of the workspace portion 150 of the desktop screen 100 and double-clicks the file 10. Then, (2) the user clicks the close button 250 of the browser screen 200 to close the browser screen 200. At this time, the total number of operations by the user is two.
In contrast, in the proposed function, the user performs an operation of superimposing a pointer on the file 10 on the desktop screen 100 and performing a key operation on both the < Ctrl > key and the < Shift > key. At this time, the number of operations by the user is one. As such, the number of operations of the function to be suggested is less than the number of operations of the user who is the basis of the function to be suggested.
Fig. 9 shows an example of an advice screen 500 for presenting the functions of the present embodiment to the user.
As shown in fig. 9, the suggestion screen 500 has explanatory text 510 explaining the function to be suggested and an explanatory diagram 520 explaining the function to be suggested and the operation of the function to be suggested.
Explanatory text 510 utilizes an article to express the operations required by the user to perform the function to be suggested. The example shown in fig. 9 is an operation example for displaying the enlarged display screen 400, and the explanation text 510 specifically explains operations of the mouse and the keyboard.
Also, the explanatory diagram 520 expresses operations required for the user to execute the function to be suggested using images. Further, the explanatory diagram 520 expresses a screen transition caused by an operation with an image. The explanatory view 520 displays an image 522 of a pointer of a mouse and an explanatory view 523 of an operation of a keyboard together on an image 521, and the image 521 shows an example of the desktop screen 100 actually displayed on the liquid crystal display. In the explanation diagram 520, an image 524 is shown, and this image 524 shows an example of the enlarged display screen 400 that transits from the desktop screen 100 after the operation of the proposed function.
The suggestion screen 500 includes an acceptance image 530, and the acceptance image 530 accepts designation of a user who does not display the suggestion screen 500 regarding the function of the same content or who does not execute the function suggestion itself thereafter.
In addition, the suggestion screen 500 may suggest not only a single function but also a plurality of functions.
As described above, in embodiment 1, in the case where a repetitive operation based on the reciprocation as transitioning from the desktop screen 100 to the browser screen 200 and from the browser screen 200 to the desktop screen 100 is detected, the function of displaying the enlarged display screen 400 is suggested.
In addition, in the case where a repetitive operation based on repetition such as transition from the desktop screen 100 to the browser screen 200, transition from the browser screen 200 to the desktop screen 100, and transition from the desktop screen 100 to the browser screen 200 is detected, the information processing apparatus 1 may also suggest a function of displaying the enlarged display screen 400.
For example, the information processing apparatus 1 receives a double click on one file 10 displayed in the work space portion 150 of the desktop screen 100. In this way, the information processing apparatus 1 transitions from the desktop screen 100 to a state in which the browser screen 200 showing one file 10 is displayed. Then, the information processing apparatus 1 receives a click of the close button 250 from the user, and closes the browser screen 200 displaying one file 10. Then, the information processing apparatus 1 receives a double click on another file 10 displayed in the work space portion 150 of the desktop screen 100. In this way, the information processing apparatus 1 transitions from the desktop screen 100 to a state in which the browser screen 200 showing the other file 10 is displayed on the liquid crystal display. Then, the information processing apparatus 1 receives a click of the close button 250 from the user, and closes the browser screen 200 on which the other file 10 is displayed.
Then, as described above, when a repeated operation of repeatedly performing an operation of closing the browser screen 200 by clicking the close button 250 by the user is detected after performing an operation of double-clicking the file 10 of the work space part 150, the information processing apparatus 1 suggests the following functions: while superimposing the pointer of the mouse on the file 10, the enlarged display screen 400 is displayed by performing a key operation on both the < Ctrl > key and the < Shift > key. The magnified display screen 400 is a similar screen that displays the content of the file 10 in the same manner as the browser screen 200, and is a useful function for the user who displays the browser screen 200.
Further, as a condition for making the function advice, a repetitive operation that is repeatedly performed within a predetermined time such as 5 seconds, for example, can be exemplified.
Here, when the operation of transitioning from the desktop screen 100 to the browser screen 200 is repeatedly performed, the operation performed by the user is as follows. (1) The user superimposes a pointer on one file 10 of the workspace section 150 of the desktop screen 100 and double-clicks one file 10. Then, (2) the user clicks the close button 250 of the browser screen 200 to close the browser screen 200 showing one file 10. Further, (3) the user superimposes the pointer on the other file 10 in the workspace portion 150 of the desktop screen 100 and double-clicks the other file 10. Then, (4) the user clicks the close button 250 of the browser screen 200 to close the browser screen 200 showing the other files 10. At this time, the total number of operations by the user is four.
In contrast, in the function to be suggested, the operation performed by the user is as follows. (1) The user superimposes a pointer on one file 10 of the work space section 150 and performs a key operation on both the < Ctrl > key and the < Shift > key. Then, (2) the user superimposes the pointer on the other file 10 of the work space section 150, and performs a key operation on both the < Ctrl > key and the < Shift > key. At this time, the total number of operations by the user is two. Also, the number of operations of the function to be suggested is less than the number of operations of the user who is the basis of the function to be suggested.
In the above example, an example has been described in which, when a repeat operation is performed, a pointer is superimposed on the file 10 on the desktop screen 100, and a preset key operation is performed to display the enlarged display screen 400 similar to the browser screen 200, but the present invention is not limited to this embodiment.
For example, in the case where a repeated operation of the screen or the like from the 1 st state to the 2 nd state and from the 2 nd state to the 1 st state is detected, the information processing apparatus 1 may present the user with a function of transitioning from the 1 st state to the 2 nd state and from the 2 nd state to the 1 st state. At this time, the number of operations for executing the function suggested to the user is less than the number of operations of the repeated operation as the basis of the suggestion.
When an operation of closing the browser screen 200 by clicking the close button 250 by the user is detected after an operation of double-clicking the file 10 of the work space section 150 is performed, the information processing apparatus 1 performs function suggestion.
The functions to be suggested are as follows: in a state where the pointer of the mouse is superimposed on the file 10, both the < Ctrl > key and the < Alt (alternate) > key are subjected to a key operation. When the key is pressed in a state where the pointer is superimposed on the file 10 of the desktop screen 100, the information processing apparatus 1 displays the browser screen 200, and when the key is released, the browser screen 200 is hidden. In the function to be suggested, the number of operations by the user is one, and is less than the number of operations of the repeated operation as the basis of the suggestion, that is, two.
[ Exception of operation ]
Next, an exceptional operation in which function suggestion is not made even when a repetitive operation is detected will be described.
When the editing operation in the browser screen 200 is performed, the information processing apparatus 1 does not perform function suggestion. The exception operation is an operation for determining that the presentation of the function is not performed in a preset state when the function suggestion is performed. For example, the exceptional operation is an operation that lowers the meaning of making a function suggestion or an operation that may lower the convenience of the user by making a function suggestion instead.
For example, the information processing device 1 receives a single click of the file 10 on the desktop screen 100 from the user, and displays the browser screen 200 of the file 10. Then, in the browser screen 200, the user may perform an editing operation on the file 10.
Here, in the case where the file 10 is a document file, an editing operation performed on the file 10 may exemplify editing a document. The editing operation may exemplify adding a comment such as text to the file 10 or deleting a comment. The editing operation may illustrate that the tag 10A for taking notes is appended to a page of the file 10 or deleted from the file 10. The editing operation may illustrate changing the page structure of the file 10. The editing operation may exemplify adding a stamp image such as a stamp, a secret, a date stamp, or the like to the page constituting the document 10, or deleting the stamp image. Also, the editing operation may illustrate drawing a graphic or mark on a page of the document 10.
In this way, when the user performs an editing operation in the browser screen 200, it can be determined that the user intends to edit the file 10, not only to browse the contents of the file 10. Namely, it is considered that: the user's purpose is not only to transition from the desktop screen 100 to the browser screen 200 to view the contents of the file 10 of the desktop screen 100. In this case, it is not necessary to suggest a function for easily performing screen transition as in the case of enlarging the display screen 400. Therefore, when the editing operation is performed on the file 10 on the browser screen 200, the information processing apparatus 1 does not perform the function suggestion.
In addition, the user may display a plurality of browser screens 200 side by side on the liquid crystal display, or may display the browser screens 200 and screens of other applications side by side. In addition, for example, the side-by-side display may be a display in which two screens are displayed in a state of being overlapped with each other.
In this way, when the browser screen 200 and the other screens are displayed side by side on the liquid crystal display, it is considered that: the user is intended to perform work while comparing the contents of a plurality of files 10. For example, it is conceivable that: the user checks the change point while comparing the documents 10 before and after review, or inputs necessary items to another document 10 while viewing the document 10 received by the facsimile machine. At this time, if the information processing apparatus 1 makes a function suggestion such as enlarging the display screen 400, the user may not be able to perform the operation performed so far. Therefore, in the case where a plurality of browser screens 200 are displayed side by side, or in the case where the browser screens 200 and the screen of another application are displayed side by side, the information processing apparatus 1 does not perform function suggestion.
[ decision of function proposal ]
Next, a case where any one of the functions of preview screen image 300 and enlarged display screen image 400 is determined as a function suggestion will be described.
The information processing apparatus 1 of the present embodiment determines the contents of a function to be proposed based on the file 10 displayed on the desktop screen 100. In the information processing apparatus 1, as an example of the file 10 displayed on the desktop screen 100, any of (i) a display format of the file, (ii) a display size of the file, (iii) a configuration of the file, and (iv) a content of the file is used.
The information processing apparatus 1 of the present embodiment determines the content of a function to be suggested according to the operation of the user on the screen.
Fig. 10 is a diagram illustrating an operation when the preview screen 300 is suggested or the display screen 400 is enlarged.
In the operation example shown in fig. 10, an example is used in which the function suggestion is determined based on (i) the display format of the file, (ii) the display size of the file, and (iii) the arrangement of the file.
As shown in fig. 10, the information processing apparatus 1 determines whether the display form of the file 10 on the desktop screen 100 is text display (S201). In the work space section 150 of the desktop screen 100 according to the present embodiment, the file 10 is displayed in either a text display (see fig. 3) or a thumbnail display (see fig. 2). When the display format of the document 10 is text display (yes in S201), a function of displaying the preview screen 300 (for example, an example of the 4 th state screen) is suggested (S202).
In the enlarged display screen 400 according to the present embodiment, a predetermined key operation is performed by superimposing the pointer of the mouse on the target file 10 to be enlarged. Further, the operation of superimposing the pointer on the text-displayed file 10 may reduce the operability of the user. Therefore, in the case where the display form of the document 10 is text display, the preview screen 300 is suggested instead of the enlarged display screen 400.
Further, a function (for example, an example of another function) suggestion for displaying preview screen 300 may exemplify that the user operates preview icon 123. The suggestion of the operation of the preview icon 123 is made in the same manner as the function suggestion of the display enlarged display screen 400 as described with reference to fig. 9.
If the display format of the file 10 on the desktop screen 100 is not text display (no in S201), that is, if the display format of the file 10 is thumbnail display, it is determined whether the thumbnail of the file 10 is smaller than a preset size (S203). The predetermined size may be, for example, the width of a pointer of a mouse displayed on the screen.
If the thumbnail of file 10 is smaller than the preset size (yes in S203), the process proceeds to S202, and a function of displaying preview screen 300 is suggested.
Similarly to the text display, when the file 10 whose thumbnail image is displayed is small, the operation of superimposing the pointer on the file 10 may deteriorate the operability of the user. Therefore, in the case where the thumbnail is smaller than the size set in advance, the preview screen 300 is suggested instead of enlarging the display screen 400.
When the thumbnail of the file 10 is not smaller than the preset size (no in S203), that is, when the thumbnail of the file 10 is larger than or equal to the preset size, it is determined whether or not the arrangement information of the thumbnail of the user exists (S204).
As described with reference to fig. 2, thumbnails of a plurality of files 10 in the workspace section 150 of the desktop screen 100 are arranged at arbitrary positions by the user and managed as arrangement information. Then, if there is no configuration information of the thumbnail of the user (no in S204), the flow proceeds to S202, and a function of displaying the preview screen 300 is suggested.
On the other hand, in a case where there is configuration information of the thumbnail of the user (yes in S204), a function of displaying the enlarged display screen 400 is suggested. If the layout information of the thumbnails exists, it is considered that the user pays attention to the display in the workspace portion 150 of the desktop screen 100. Therefore, in the case where the configuration information of the thumbnail of the user exists, it is suggested to display the enlarged display screen 400 that the user can operate with less line-of-sight movement.
Next, an example of determining the content of the function suggestion based on the content of the (iv) file will be specifically described.
The information processing apparatus 1 determines which function of the preview screen 300 and the enlarged display screen 400 is suggested based on the content of the file 10 displayed on the desktop screen 100.
Here, the content of the file 10 is information constituting the file, and may show an image such as a graphic or a photograph, or a text such as a document. The information processing apparatus 1 of the present embodiment determines the function advice based on the ratio of the text to the image in the file 10.
For example, in the case where the area occupied by text in the page is large, the information processing apparatus 1 suggests the preview screen 300. On the other hand, in the case where the area occupied by the image in the page is large, the information processing apparatus 1 suggests enlarging the display screen 400. In addition, a case where the area occupied by the text or the image in the page is large can be exemplified by a case where the ratio of the area occupied by the text or the image in the page is 50% or more.
Here, in the enlarged display screen 400 of the present embodiment, the enlargement factor of the file 10 is fixed, and in the preview screen 300, the user can change the enlargement factor of the file 10. Therefore, information processing apparatus 1 of the present embodiment suggests preview screen 300 when the area occupied by the text is large, and suggests enlargement of display screen 400 when the area occupied by the image is large.
Further, the information processing apparatus 1 may determine which function of the preview screen 300 and the enlarged display screen 400 is suggested according to the presence or absence of the tab 10A provided in the document 10.
For example, in a case where the file 10 has the tag 10A, the information processing apparatus 1 suggests the preview screen 300. On the other hand, in the case where the file 10 does not have the tag 10A, the information processing apparatus 1 suggests enlarging the display screen 400. The enlarged display screen 400 of the present embodiment does not display the tab 10A attached to the document 10 or displays only a part thereof. In contrast, preview screen image 300 displays tab 10A provided on document 10 in a state that can be confirmed by the user. Therefore, the information processing apparatus 1 of the present embodiment suggests the preview screen 300 when the file 10 has the tag 10A, and suggests the enlarged display screen 400 when the file 10 does not have the tag 10A.
Next, an example of determining the content of the function suggestion according to the user operation will be specifically described.
The information processing apparatus 1 may determine the function to be suggested based on the user's operation when performing the repetitive operation. In the present embodiment, after the transition from the desktop screen 100 to the browser screen 200, the content of the function suggestion is determined according to the operation history of the user in the browser screen 200. For example, when a page turning operation is performed on the file 10 displayed on the browser screen 200, the information processing apparatus 1 suggests enlarging the display screen 400. On the other hand, in a case where no page turning operation is performed on the document 10 displayed on the browser screen 200, the information processing apparatus 1 suggests the preview screen 300.
In preview screen image 300 of the present embodiment, it is necessary to turn the page using flip icon 312 of toolbar 310. On the other hand, in the enlarged display screen 400, pages can be turned by operations of the right and left keys of the mouse. Therefore, the information processing apparatus 1 suggests enlargement of the display screen 400 when the page turning operation is performed on the browser screen 200, and suggests the preview screen 300 when the page turning operation is not performed.
< embodiment 2 >
Next, the information processing device 1 to which embodiment 2 is applied will be described.
Fig. 11 is an explanatory diagram of a function proposal of the information processing device 1 according to embodiment 2.
In embodiment 2, the same components as those in embodiment 1 are denoted by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof is omitted.
When a repeated operation of hiding or displaying the 1 st toolbar 120, the 2 nd toolbar 130, and the like on the desktop screen 100 is detected, the information processing apparatus 1 according to embodiment 2 is applied with a function of suggesting to collectively hide or collectively display the 1 st toolbar 120, the 2 nd toolbar 130 (hereinafter, referred to as a toolbar), and the like.
In the desktop screen 100 shown in fig. 11, the user may operate the setting button 126 to hide the 1 st toolbar 120 and the 2 nd toolbar 130 (for example, an example of the 1 st operation). In this way, the information processing apparatus 1 transitions from a state in which the 1 st toolbar 120 or the 2 nd toolbar 130 is displayed on the desktop screen 100 (for example, an example of the 1 st state) to a state in which the 1 st toolbar 120 or the 2 nd toolbar 130 is not displayed on the desktop screen 100 (for example, an example of the 2 nd state) as shown in fig. 11.
Then, the user operates the menu bar 110 on the desktop screen 100 shown in fig. 11 to perform an operation of displaying a toolbar (for example, an example of the 2 nd operation). In this way, the information processing apparatus 1 transits from a state in which the toolbar is hidden in the desktop screen 100 to a state in which the toolbar is displayed in the desktop screen 100 (refer to fig. 2).
Then, in the case where an operation of displaying a toolbar on the desktop screen 100 is detected after hiding the toolbar on the desktop screen 100, the information processing apparatus 1 of embodiment 2 proposes the following functions: by performing a key operation on both the < Ctrl > key and the < F1 (function 1) > key, toolbars in the desktop screen 100 are hidden in a unified manner.
When both the < Ctrl > key and the < F1 > key are pressed while the tool bar is hidden on the desktop screen 100, the information processing apparatus 1 redisplays the tool bar on the desktop screen 100.
Here, when the state where the toolbar is displayed on the desktop screen 100 transits to the state where the toolbar is hidden, and the state where the toolbar is hidden on the desktop screen 100 transits to the state where the toolbar is displayed, the operation performed by the user is as follows. (1) The user clicks, for example, the set button 126 of the 1 st toolbar 120. Further, (2) the user clicks a selection item for hiding the 1 st toolbar 120 from the setting field displayed in accordance with the operation of the setting button 126. Further, (3) the user clicks the set button 126 of the 2 nd toolbar 130. Then, (4) the user clicks a selection item for hiding the 2 nd toolbar 130 from the setting bar displayed in correspondence with the operation of the setting button 126. Then, (5) the user clicks on the menu bar 110. Then, (6) the user clicks a selection item for redisplaying the 1 st toolbar 120 and the 2 nd toolbar 130 from the displayed setting bar. At this time, the total number of operations by the user is six.
In contrast, in the function to be suggested, the operation performed by the user is as follows. (1) The user presses both the < Ctrl > key and the < F1 > key to hide the 1 st toolbar 120 and the 2 nd toolbar 130 of the desktop image. Then, (2) the user presses both the < Ctrl > key and the < F1 > key to redisplay the 1 st toolbar 120 and the 2 nd toolbar 130 on the desktop image 100. At this time, the total number of operations by the user is two. Also, the number of operations of the function to be suggested is less than the number of operations of the user who is the basis of the function to be suggested.
The information processing apparatus 1 according to embodiment 2 may determine the function advice according to the state of the desktop screen 100. For example, when the display area of the toolbar occupied on the desktop screen 100 is larger than a predetermined area, the information processing apparatus 1 may suggest a function of hiding the toolbar in a unified manner. In addition, in the case where the display magnification of the file 10 in the work space section 150 is large and a part of the file 10 is not displayed in the work space section 150, the information processing device 1 may suggest a function of hiding the toolbar in a unified manner.
Next, an exceptional operation in the information processing device 1 according to embodiment 2 will be described.
When the user uses a toolbar that is a hidden target on the desktop screen 100, the information processing apparatus 1 according to embodiment 2 does not suggest a function. For example, the user may sometimes operate any icon in the 1 st toolbar 120 and the 2 nd toolbar 130. Here, if the function of collectively hiding the toolbars is implemented when the user uses the toolbar to be hidden, the user may not be able to use the toolbar being used. Therefore, when the user uses the toolbar to be hidden collectively, the information processing apparatus 1 does not suggest a function.
In the above example, the description has been made using an example in which the function of collectively hiding all the toolbars is proposed when transitioning from the state in which the 1 st toolbar 120 and the 2 nd toolbar 130 are displayed to the state in which the 1 st toolbar 120 and the 2 nd toolbar 130 are not displayed, but the present invention is not limited to this example.
For example, when the repeated operation of individually hiding the plurality of icons constituting the 1 st toolbar 120 is performed in a state where the 1 st toolbar 120 is displayed, the information processing apparatus 1 may suggest a function of hiding all the toolbars collectively. In this case, the state in which all toolbars are hidden (for example, an example of the 3 rd state) is a state in which a plurality of icons constituting the 1 st toolbar 120 are hidden individually (for example, an example of the 2 nd state).
The function of collectively hiding the images constituting the desktop screen 100 is not limited to a toolbar. For example, when preview screen 300 is displayed on desktop screen 100, or when an attribute screen (not shown) for browsing or editing attribute information of file 10 is displayed on desktop screen 100, these images may be hidden together.
In the above example, the images on the desktop screen 100 are collectively displayed or collectively hidden, but the same function may be performed on the images on the browser screen 200. Therefore, in the case where the repeat operation of the hidden image is performed in the browser screen 200, the information processing apparatus 1 may also suggest the above-described function.
< embodiment 3 >
Next, the information processing device 1 to which embodiment 3 is applied will be described.
Fig. 12 is an explanatory diagram of a function proposal of the information processing device 1 according to embodiment 3.
In embodiment 3, the same components as those in the other embodiments are denoted by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof is omitted.
When a repetitive operation for changing the function of the mouse is detected, the information processing device 1 according to embodiment 3 is applied to propose a function of a pointer capable of performing a plurality of operations.
As shown in fig. 12, the information processing apparatus 1 receives a right click of the mouse on the browser screen 200, and displays an operation menu 600. The operation menu 600 displays a 1 st setting item 601 for setting a positioning mode of pointing or clicking a subject image and a 2 nd setting item 602 for setting a scroll mode of moving a display position of the subject file 10. The operation menu 600 displays a 3 rd setting item 603 for setting a text selection mode for selecting a text in the file 10 and a 4 th setting item 604 for setting a multifunction mode in which both the scroll mode and the text selection mode can be operated. Then, the user sets the mode of the pointer of the mouse by clicking a setting item in the operation menu 600.
Here, when the left key of the mouse is pressed in the multifunction mode, the information processing apparatus 1 moves the display position of the object file 10. When the right button of the mouse is pressed in the multifunction mode, the information processing apparatus 1 can select the text described in the file 10. As such, the multifunction mode is a state similar to the scroll mode or the text selection mode.
Then, in a state in which the information processing apparatus 1 is set to the positioning mode (for example, an example of the 1 st state), the information processing apparatus transitions to the scroll mode (for example, an example of the 2 nd state) by specifying the 2 nd setting item 602 (for example, an example of the 1 st operation) in the operation menu 600, and transitions to the text selection mode (for example, an example of the 2 nd state) by specifying the 3 rd setting item 603 (for example, an example of the 1 st operation) in the operation menu 600. Then, the information processing apparatus 1 transits to a state in which the positioning mode is set by specifying the 1 st setting item 601 (for example, an example of the 2 nd operation) in the operation menu 600.
Then, when an operation to change to the positioning mode is detected after an operation to change from the positioning mode to the scroll mode and further an operation to change to the text selection mode, the information processing apparatus 1 according to embodiment 3 displays the operation menu 600 to suggest a function to change to a state of setting to the multi-function mode (for example, an example of state 3).
Here, when the mouse is transitioned from the state in which the mouse is set to the pointing mode to the state in which the mouse is set to the scroll mode, further to the state in which the mouse is set to the text selection mode, and further to the state in which the mouse is set to the pointing mode, the user performs the following operations. (1) The user clicks the right button of the mouse and the operation menu 600 is displayed. Then, (2) the user clicks the 2 nd setting item 602. And (3) the user re-clicks the right button of the mouse to display the operation menu 600. Then, (4) the user clicks the 3 rd setting item 603. Further, (5) the user clicks the right button of the mouse to display the operation menu 600. Then, (6) the user clicks the 1 st setting item 601. At this time, the total number of operations by the user is six.
In contrast, in the function to be suggested, the operation performed by the user is as follows. (1) The user clicks the right button of the mouse and the operation menu 600 is displayed. Then, (2) the user clicks the 4 th setting item 604. Then, (3) the user re-clicks the right button of the mouse to display the operation menu 600. Then, (4) the user clicks the 1 st setting item 601. At this time, the total number of operations by the user is four. Also, the number of operations of the function to be suggested is less than the number of operations of the user who is the basis of the function to be suggested.
